Strawberry Gelato Recipe

Strawberry Gelato Recipe

Ingredients: (Yield: just under 5 cups, serving six to eight):

• 1 1-pound bag of frozen strawberries; or 1 pound of ripe, sweet, strawberries, hulled.
• 1/2 cup of sugar, preferably organic fairTRADE SUGAR.
• 1/4 cup of water.
• 2 cups of milk (2% or whole).
• 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice.
• Pinch of salt.

Instructions:

• Place a 1-quart container and once smaller container (for any extra gelato) in the freezer. Combine the strawberries, water and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about 15 or until the strawberries thaw and become very soft. Remove from heat and transfer half of the mixture to a blender. Cover the top of the blender jar with a dish towel pulled down tight. Blend until smooth and then add half of the milk, then blend again until smooth. Repeat with the milk and remaining strawberries. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge.

• Stir in the lemon juice and salt and transfer to the container of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Scrape into the chilled container and return to the freezer for at least 2hs before serving. If frozen solid, allow to soften in the fridge for 20-30 mins before serving.
